We have a busy day. Soccer game, pumpkin patch, shopping, dropping boys off at grandparents, couples baby shower. Whew that is a lot of excitement for the eddy house.
Remember earlier this week when I said one of my friends wanted to through a pyramid scheme party when my college girlfriends were all getting together to see new babies? The whole crew went totally radio silent when she threw that idea out there. No replies on the email thread, which was active, for four days. I am proud of every one of them lol. And judging the other friend who wanted to capitalize off of all of us with her shitty expensive clothing. But I will get over it.
Also I can see who has filled out my reference checks and I am 3 for 5 right now. I know one person is out of town and hopefully the other person does it this weekend.
It feels so weird to know what is going on.
And god save me, I better be the top candidate and they aren't just doing this to fuck around.

Hockey and cleaning. We are on schedule so far.
I had 2 age spots removed from my face and they're not going away as quickly as I'd hoped. I was hoping to be out of band aids by Monday and it's looking like that was a little optimistic.
I would like to make carrot cake cookies. I'm going to make a brunch-style lunch of pea shoots, ham, eggs, and grape tomatoes. I'd like to get out for a walk. The weather and my schedule prevented me from getting out for a walk for the last three days. I would love to knit, read, and draw. I also have returns to do, and cleaning.
I need to go to the BMV to get the registration for my new car before the temporary tags expire. But my birthday is relatively soon and I need a new license this year which I know they'll make me get while I'm there. I don't feel like going through the effort to make myself picture presentable this morning. So I'm putting off this task until next weekend.
Our nephews are staying with us this weekend; they're currently watching Frozen in their underwear while eating pancakes. Boys are weird.
We're going to a children's museum later this morning and eating out lunch. I have no idea for what we are doing this afternoon. A park, maybe? I'm perusing Pinterest for some fun crafty ideas.
Teaching 2, one private lesson, laundry, errands, prerace sub dinner out, get h from airport and hopefully relax sometime lol Try to work on lesson plans
I babysat my 16 month old niece Wednesday. Got my flu shot Friday. Woke up Saturday sicker than shit. I thought about making a post to tell you guys that the flu shot got me sick, but I'm too crabby to be funny.
H is working today. I'm heading out soon to get a haircut and make a trip to Pottery Barn. Then I have a class for work this afternoon, and I'm hoping to get a manicure after the class.

DH brought DD to dance. My ass is parked firmly in front of GBCN/HGTV where it shall remain until I get this stupid drain yanked out of my head Monday.
We got up stupid early top take the train from Lynchburg to DC. I napped for a few hours, then hit up the dining car for breakfast & coffee.
DH & I have decided that taking the train is way better than driving anywhere. We can sleep, eat, stretch our legs & don't have to stop. The seats/legroom are better than what we'd have in the car. And no fighting with traffic or each other about directions.
We should get there around 10:30 & have a full day to explore with SIL. MIL comes into town later this evening. I've never been to DC so I'm excited!
Today I'm going to brunch and doing some returns. We're going to try to meet up with some of our friends from HS/college for dinner...most of them are young single guys who have never met Leo, so that should be interesting.
I'm getting ready to take dd to her last doccer game of the season. She will go home with my mom grom there and I will either go to Target to waste some time before the consignment store opens or go straight to the consignment store to drop off a load of things ds has outgrown.
Then I'll come home and clean, start laundry, menu plan, and make my grocery store list. I'm also going to puck the last of our apples on our apple tree. I predict lots of apple related recipes in our future.
Just got home from the gym. Treading that delicate balance between getting in my postWO nutrition and saving room for ALL THE CORN CHIPS at the Cinci G2G.
Trying to be quiet while I get dressed because my H is still sleeping. Poor poodles, he's been working a LOT this week and he said last night he has to work all day today.
Getting my hair cut this morning. Then I have papers to grade in the afternoon and we might head to a bonfire tonight.
Side question: I cannot find any info on our city's parking website, but does anyone know if there's a general rule of how long a car can sit in one spot without moving to be considered abandoned?
Some car, whose owner I am not sure of, has sat squarely in front of our house since Monday. It has not moved, nor have I seen anyone get anything out of it, etc. I am so fucking sick of the parking issues on our street, it is not even funny.
And my car's low tire pressure light came on yesterday. Awesome. Guess I'm stopping at a gas station at some pint today. None of them look flat so I don't know what the deal is.
Hold me.
Do you have pressure sensor things in your tires? My car has them and the TPMS sensor trips on all the time. The guy at the tire shop said the air level is fine, it's the sensor itself that needs to be replaced. It's a cheap, quick fix but I just haven't had time to get back there.
I am in a hotel room, by myself, sitting in bed at 10AM. It's glorious. I have done nothing since I got here last night. I had a massage, picked up snacks/wine/junk food and am watching crap TV while catching up on all the interwebs stuff. It's been such a busy, stressful few months I really needed to get away.
Might head out to do some shopping later. And I should probably get some real food at some point, since the room service menu here is crap and all I've had is stuff I grabbed at the grocery store on the way in.

DH is off running errands this morning and picking up his 1/2 or 1/4 of a cow I wasn't paying attention to how much beef he said he was picking up. I'm waiting for the vet to call me back about the pup's toe - she finished her antibiotics, but it still isn't healed and looks icky. I think she needs a cone or ring of shame because she keeps licking it. My cousin and kids are visiting so we are going for crabs in Baltimore, doing something kid friendly haven't picked the activity yet. After kid fun we are doing the LLS Light the Night walk in Baltimore before going home and passing out from too much activity.
I'm going to the Jack O Lantern Spectacular with my mom, sister and her kids. It's 5,000 pumpkins all lit up at a state park. I'm hoping my kid does ok, I'm sure it's not going to be too exciting for him.

I love being at my moms house this morning. I'm being waited on hand and foot lol. I have tons of errands to run today but in the meantime I'll enjoy my coffee and pumpkin muffin.
